Jacksonville Delivers No New Positive COVID-19 Tests Sunday

The game scheduled for Sunday between the Detroit Lions and Jacksonville Jaguars will go on as planned after the Jaguars announced Sunday morning that they had no new positive COVID-19 tests. Despite having 12 practice squad players (and defensive end Josh Mauro) placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Jacksonville has gotten multiple negative tests from […]

Top 10 Fantasy Football Busts for Week 6

Week 6 is here! The weirdness from last week has continued, as we have now had a Tuesday Night Football game but then had Thursday Night Football taken away from us. Assuming and hoping that there are no cancellations this weekend, fantasy managers can count on not having any Saints, Seahawks, Chargers, or Raiders this […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 6) - Targets and Avoids

Five weeks into the season and we're starting to see who some teams really are. We already knew the Jets and Giants were awful, but are the Rams actually good? They're 4-1 with all their wins coming against the NFC East and their lone loss against the Bills. It'll also be real interesting to see […]

Leonard Fournette Expects To Play Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (ankle) will warm-up prior to Sunday’s game, but so long as he has no setbacks, is expected to play versus Green Bay. Fournette last received carries Week 3 against Denver, having battled an ankle injury that has limited him in practice. In the case that he does play, […]

Jamaal Williams Dips In Fantasy Intrigue During Week 6

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams has been utilized as Aaron Jones’ primary backup this season, which already caps his fantasy intrigue, but facing off against a stout Buccaneers Defense Sunday that is yielding just 58.4 yards per game on the ground puts him in an untenable spot. Williams saw a season-high 57 percent […]

Royce Freeman Should Benefit From Melvin Gordon III’s Absence

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman has reprised a minor role in the team’s offense this season despite having combined for over 1,000 yards rushing over the past two years. Melvin Gordon III (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against New England, and while Phillip Lindsay is expected to the Broncos’ bell cow […]

Damien Harris Carries Low-End RB2 Value

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris is expected to be the lead back with Sony Michel (quad) sidelined for the foreseeable future. Harris saw 17 carries for 100 yards in the Week 4 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Pats still have Rex Burkhead and James White in the mix, but both of […]

Rex Burkhead Likely To Lose Value

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead is expected to see his role decrease going forward. James White returned during the Week 4 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs after missing each of the two games prior to that. Burkhead saw a season-high 11 carries on the ground, but White returned to his role as […]

James White Has Flex Value Versus Broncos

New England Patriots running back James White returned from his two-game absence against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 4. He finished with three rushing attempts for 21 yards and caught seven receptions through the air in the loss. The Pats continue to heavily involve White in the passing game and that should be the […]

Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Pickups - Week 6

The pivot plays and post-waiver pickups keep coming, RotoBallers! There is no Thursday game this week to burn fantasy football players, but there are now two Monday night games and plenty of Sunday games that could catch fantasy managers off guard if they do not have backup plans in place for the “questionable” players on […]

Jaguars Put 12 Practice Squad Players On Reserve/COVID-19 List

The Jacksonville Jaguars announced Saturday that they have placed 12 of their practice squad players on the league’s reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Sunday’s contest against Detroit. At this point, there’s no reason to believe that the game between the Lions and Jaguars is in jeopardy, as Jacksonville is reportedly making the move as a precaution. […]

J.K. Dobbins Not A Season-Long Starting Option At This Stage

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins entered the season as a borderline Top 100 fantasy selection due to his multifaceted abilities out of the backfield. Even with veteran Mark Ingram II holding down primary running back duties, Gus Edwards has now emerged as Ingram’s primary backup, leaving Dobbins somewhat out in the cold. He played […]

Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch in Week 6

Every week, this column will spotlight the first-year players who are ripe for a breakout performance. Often, rookies can provide some of the most value as under-the-radar options. Last week, Pittsburgh rookie wideout Chase Claypool had a monster performance. The Notre Dame product tallied 116 yards from scrimmage and four total touchdowns, helping the Steelers beat […]

Sony Michel, Two Other Patriots Land On Reserve/COVID-19 List

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel (undisclosed), offensive lineman Shaq Mason, and defensive end Derek Rivers have all been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Sunday’s game versus Denver. Placement on the list does not necessarily mean that players had to test positive for the virus, with it also being utilized for those […]

Buffalo Expects To Have Zack Moss Back Monday

Buffalo Bills running back Zack Moss (toe) is expected back in the running back equation for Monday’s contest versus Kansas City. Moss has missed each of the team’s previous three outings due to a toe injury, but he now figures to slot in as the primary backup to Devin Singletary. While Moss has carved out […]

Antonio Gibson Looking To Bounce-Back Versus Giants

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson had the worst game of his career last week but should be in a good position to rebound versus the hapless Giants. Gibson was limited to just 51 yards on 16 touches last week and failed to find the end zone for the first time since Week 1. […]

J.D. McKissic A Sneaky Flex Play In PPR

Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic has been more involved in the team's offense over the last two weeks and is trending upwards in fantasy. McKissic is coming off back-to-back games with eight targets and went for over 40 receiving yards in each game. The former Lion has always excelled as a passing-downs back […]

Wayne Gallman, Dion Lewis Avoidable In Week 6

New York Giants running backs Dion Lewis and Wayne Gallman have fallen behind Devonta Freeman on the depth chart and both are unlikely to provide fantasy value in Week 6. Last week, Gallman was out-carried by Freeman 17 to five and Lewis did not get a carry. Lewis did have four targets, but was only […]

La'Mical Perine Could Have Expanded Role

New York Jets running back La'Mical Perine could get more involved in the backfield with Le'Veon Bell being released. Veteran running back Frank Gore is expected to be the lead back for their Week 6 matchup with the Miami Dolphins. However, Perine is likely going to serve as the backup behind Gore. Sadly, Perine has […]

Frank Gore Gets Lead Back Duties Versus Dolphins

New York Jets running back Frank Gore is expected to be the lead back going forward. The release of Le'Veon Bell means Gore is most likely going to see more carries on offense. Sadly, the veteran running back won't see much of an increase in fantasy value. The Jets offensive line is horrendous, so there […]

Devonta Freeman Primed For Best Game As A Giant

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman has seen his workload increase in each week with the team and is in a good position for fantasy production in Week 6 versus Washington. Freeman has 15 touches in back-to-back games including handling 17 carries last week to Wayne Gallman's five. Washington has allowed six touchdowns to […]
